Oh Ughs

I've been having some back pain for a while now and am finally taking care of it. On Friday I went to a chiropractor and had some x-rays taken. It turns out that I have a compressed disc in my lower back. It seems like there is nothing I can actually do to make it heal fully again, but ice, physical therapy, and advil for the rest of my life is the only solution. I am feeling a little deflated today, and after another adjustment from the chiropractor, a little sore. The chiro says it might be about a month before I start feeling better, but at least I am on my way to feeling better, as opposed to last week where it was just hurting. I was hoping for more of a quick fix and no issue, but I guess that is just not the case this time.

Bah humbug.
